Allahabad High Court Reinstates Padma Shri Dr. Devi Prasad Dwivedi at Kashi Vishwanath Temple After 25 Years, ruling that his removal as Acharya 25 years ago was legally invalid and clarifying that the Acharya’s role is a spiritual, not salaried, position.
The Allahabad High Court criticised the conduct of a man for filing a false criminal case against his elder brother to ‘wreak vengeance’. The Court was hearing an application seeking to quash a charge- sheet under Section 406 I.P.C, cognizance as well as summoning order passed in a Criminal Case. The bench of Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery termed man as “Kalyugi Bharat” and observed, “…present criminal proceedings was initiated by the complainant only for purpose of wrecking vengeance.”
